Yoga & Meditation classes with Kate Hamilton-Hunter DYTT DMTT

"Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind." Patanjali.

Why Practise Yoga?Yoga makes you feel great! Practicing the postures, breathing exercises and meditation makes you healthier in body, mind and spirit.Yoga lets you tune in to what your body needs, where your mind is at and brings harmony to whole body through linking body and mind via the breath.Sounds complicated? In a class situation with a teacher guiding through this process, you can find the connection and stillness, even after one class!

For general health & well-beingYoga improves muscle tone, flexibility, strength and stamina, and keeps your joints mobile. Regular practise reduces stress and tension, boosts self esteem, improves concentration and creativity. It can help you to tone up and lose weight, improves circulation and stimulates the immune system.Ultimately we aim to create a sense of health, well-being and serenity.

And that's just the physical practise! My favourite part of my daily yoga practise is when I sit silently at the end of the asana (posture) work. My body has come into a sense of peace with itself and my mind has unwound itself during the stretches, twists and strengthening.This is the ultimate goal of our yoga practise, to be able to sit comfortably and meditate; to find peace and quiet...on the inside!

What is special about Dru Yoga?Dru Yoga is a graceful and potent form of yoga, based on flowing movements, directed breathing and visualisation. With its foundations set firmly in ancient yogic tradition, Dru works on body, mind and spirit—improving posture, creating core stability, building a heightened feeling of positivity, and deeply relaxing and rejuvenating your whole being.

Designed to be practised by people of all abilities, all fitness levels and all age groups. Dru Yoga is shown to be effective in the treatment and management of low back pain and stress, and is known for being a particularly safe style of yoga.
